Search - Maurice André :: Le meilleur d'une vie

Two years after his death and thanks to the merging of the EMI & Erato catalogues (his two exclusive labels), Maurice Andrés (1933-2012) greatest recordings now are combined for the first time in a 3-CD compilation. Maurice André is to the world of the trumpet what legendary conductor Herbert von Karajan is to conducting. Fully embodying his instrument, his kindness, simplicity and eloquence, combined with an outstanding technique and a passion for all repertoires, brought his peers to recognize him as the trumpeter of the century. He has sold millions albums, was a regular on TV shows, and was known far beyond the classical music audience. In a US poll in 2006, he was officially elected the worlds best trumpet player, ahead of Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis. Thanks to the merger of the EMI and Erato catalogs (his two exclusive labels), Andrés greatest recordings are combined for the first time in this 3-CD compilation.
